Abstract

876,837. Feeding sheets. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Nov. 9, 1959 [Nov. 12, 1958], No. 37897/59. Class 100(1) Pile tables:-In apparatus for separating sheets from the top of a pile which is raised intermittently under the control of means responsive to the level of the top of the pile, two similar pile tables 28, 30 are provided which are positioned one above the other and mounted, respectively, on vertical posts 12, 13 for sliding and pivotal movements relative thereto, each table in operative position having an overrunning clutchdriven sprocket engaging and elevating chain and capable of being swung about its vertical post and positioned above (or below) the other table. The elevating chains 58, 62 are driven from a shaft 61 connected by a sprocket drive to a motor 68 which is controlled by a switch 84 in response to the level of the pile of sheets 85 being separated. The table 30, when in operative position adjacent the back plate 10, is in engagement with the chain 58 through sprocket 57 and a clutch 56 which allows manual raising of the table: when the table is swung away from the plate 10, the sprocket 57 is disengaged from the chain, and the table can be lowered and either swung back below the other table 28, or lowered completely and swung back, whereupon it is clear of the chain 58. The table 28 is similarly constructed or mounted. A new pile on the lower table 28 can be raised to engage the upper table 30, the latter then being swung outwardly to allow the remaining sheets thereon to fall on the new pile, without interrupting the sheet-separating operation. Each table is guided vertically by rollers, and is connected to counter weighting means including a clock spring 31 or 36. If the pile is raised too high, it pushes a plate 90 to close a switch 95 which drives the motor 68 in reverse to lower the pile. Sheet-separators:-The sheets are separated by a rubber &c. belt 77 mounted on a hexagonal pulley 71 and an ordinary pulley 75 which is driven, the frame of the device being pivoted at 74 and extended at 80 to co-operate with the switch 84 to control the height of the pile. The hexagonal pulley bounces on the pile to shingle the top sheets towards forwarding belts. Sheet-forwarders:-Separated sheets are fed between an upper belt 88 driven in a sheet forwarding direction, and a lower belt 89 driven relatively slowly in the opposite direction serving to-prevent feeding of more than one sheet at a time. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 763,832.
